Promoting her six independent recordings; singing, dancing and playing her way to the top of her musical genre, Kelli Trottier is an unforgettable and enchanting artist, consistently delivering performances that raise her stature in the hearts and memories of audiences everywhere.

Kelli blends traditional Celtic, contemporary Country, Folk, Bluegrass and Western Swing with her inspired fiddle and vocal arrangements. Kelli has performed for Canadian soldiers in the Middle East and for the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic.

She is currently touring North America with the very successful Bowfire entourage. Kelli’s soaring vocal pieces are a highlight of the Bowfire productions, often described as “The finest line-up of fiddle and violin virtuosi ever assembled on one stage."
